Physical activity in the winter - how to prepare for it?

Many people do not give up training in cold weather! For most sports enthusiasts, physical activity in the winter is the next stage of working on their own fitness and body shape. However, it is worth making sure that your body is properly prepared for the less comfortable weather conditions. How to do this? What should be kept in mind before you start training outdoors?

Physical activity in the winter: choose a sport that is fun

The foundation of the results in every sport discipline is a real commitment to training and the feeling of real pleasure from performing the exercises. Although physical effort is inextricably linked to fatigue, it cannot be regarded as an onerous chore. That is why you should first opt for outdoor training, which can be a real pleasure! Physical activity in the winter can be performed in many different ways - from running, cycling or calisthenics to some team games (e.g. football on synthetic pitches), mountain hiking or taking walks in the neighbourhood.

Physical activity in the winter: appropriate workout clothing

When deciding to exercise in the winter, one should not forget that the body is additionally exposed to the risk of hypothermia. Despite the fact that low temperature favours the strengthening of natural immunity and many other beneficial effects (e.g. improvement of fitness, purification of the airways or stimulation of the skin microcirculation), one should not forget about its important role in increasing the chances of getting ill. Physical activity performed outside in the winter aura may to a large extent lead to the development of infections, especially in the case of an unadapted organism.

 

That's why it's worthwhile to reach for the professional training clothes offered by the Olimp Live and Fight brand. These clothes are made with attention paid to every detail, and most of all with the highest quality material. The durable fabric used for the production of the training clothing is characterised by:

  • high level of air permeability, which allows the skin to breathe
  • high resistance to sweat accumulation - clothes do not become soaked in water during training
  • real flexibility, so the clothing provides the necessary mobility during exercise and high resistance to mechanical damage
  • considerable comfort and real lack of risk of skin irritation, e.g. reducing the formation of abrasions or rashes

Physical activity in the winter: take care of your own immunity

The daily diet is the basis for maintaining optimal health. However, when exercising in the winter, particular care should be taken to ensure a varied diet, which is a source of numerous active ingredients. Therefore, the Olimp Sport Nutrition product called Immuno Xplode Powder is a good choice. It is a complex of vitamins (C and D3), zinc, amino acids (L-cysteine and L-glutamine) and plant extracts (elderberry and Japanese pagoda tree), enriching the diet with substances that support proper functioning of immunity.
